Murder in the Off-Season

Ex-rock star turned sleuth Andrew ‘The Lizard’ Zirk goes on a romantic island getaway with his chauffeur, Fleur. There are only two problems: they’re joined by a recently defeated football team—and murder. First published in 2000, Murder in the Off-Season is the final in a three part series of whodunnits that read like a cross between Agatha Christie and Carl Hiaasen.
